Toyota Aygo (05 on) - Review

Review by David Ross on
Last Updated: 22 May 2012
The Aygo is Toyota's take on an urban runabout aimed primarily at twenty-somethings. Jointly developed with Peugeot and Citroen (although the vehicle design is all Toyota's work), the Aygo has a frugal yet feisty three-cylinder engine, ultra-low running costs and superior quality to most cars this small. Available as a three or five-door, it will just about transport four six-foot adults in relative comfort, with nimble handling and a smooth ride - however the boot is tiny and the cabin is fairly basic too. The Aygo+ and Sport models add extra kit over the base model, while option packs include Samsonite bags and portable satellite navigation. An automated manual gearbox is also available with similar fuel consumption to the standard manual.
